Octane: Google's new benchmark suite for JavaScript
Google has launched a new Octane own benchmark suite as an open source project. Octane has arisen because of the concern that has not been the usual benchmarks reflect the actual performance of JavaScript in modern application scenarios.
The suite continues the previously been included in the V8 benchmark suite test list, but adds a number of new tests. They determine, for example, the load times and performance of popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Closure Tools. The increased requirements for in-browser applications to illuminate tests that measure the graphical power of about 2-D and 3-D features and engines.
From the compatibility matrix is clear, however, that the test suite is not available on all browsers leads to measurement results. Even if under the desktop browsers Internet Explorer 9 denied for lack of support typed arrays in its JavaScript implementation and in quirks mode, the tests will of standing in the wings, with Microsoft Windows 8 IE 10 introduced along with it. These mobile browsers fall Android browser (Xoom, 4.0.4) and iPad-/iOS-Browser (Chrome and Safari mobile) to be incompatible.
The eight old and the five new tests can be run on Octane Home itself. Gives the list of tests with short descriptions and other information are on the project page.
